Title: I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 227 - By now, Mother Lu understood this rascal’s routine (3)
Mother Lu told her that recently Zhouzhou had been ignoring everyone and didn’t like to move around . All he did every day was sleep and drink milk . When she picked him, he would fall asleep in the next second . Other kids his age were already crawling around, but he spent his day lazily lounging in bed . Several strands of Mother Lu’s hair had turned white recently .
Ye Zhen was really worried that this little guy would grow up to be a bum .
“Zhouzhou, how about we build something with your blocks?”
Zhouzhou paid no heed to her . He was perfectly content with lying in Ye Zhen’s arms, holding his milk bottle .
Ye Zhen coaxed him until her lips turned dry, but the little brat still wouldn’t move . He was a lazy little fellow . Vexed, Ye Zhen swatted his little but twice . Perhaps, his diaper was too thick, or maybe he was too chubby . The little brat wasn’t afraid of the pain and even grinned at her .
Ye Zhen truly felt helpless . Taking care of a child was much harder than resolving issues related to a movie . Just as she was about to bring Zhouzhou upstairs, she heard Zhouzhou, who had a grip on her pants, raise his head and call out something that sounded like, “Mama . ”
Ye Zhen didn’t immediately notice . She crouched down and picked up Zhouzhou .
“Mama…”
This time, Ye Zhen clearly heard him softly calling out “mama” . It sounded very close to “mama”, but his pronunciation wasn’t standard, the tone was off .
“Zhouzhou? Did you say mama?”
Zhouzhou giggled . He opened his mouth and called out, “mama” again .
“Mom!” Ye Zhen’s surprise only lasted for a moment . With her heart leaping and feeling utmost joy, she yelled upstairs, “Mom! Zhouzhou said mama!”
Mother Lu rushed downstairs . “He said mama? Zhouzhou, call grandma . Come, say grandma . ”
“Mama…”
“Mom! Did you hear that?”
“I heard it!” Mother Lu smiled . “Zhouzhou’s smarter than Beichuan . Beichuan didn’t say mom until he was one year old . Our Zhouzhou isn’t even one yet and already knows how to say mama . He’ll definitely be even better than his dad when he grows up! Isn’t that right, Zhouzhou?”
Zhouzhou smiled at Mother Lu and spat out a bubble .
At the mention of Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen hastily called Lu Beichuan . She wanted to share this news with him as soon as possible .
In Lu Corporation’s conference room, Lu Beichuan was listening to the CFO talk about this quarter’s financial report with furrowed brows . The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely quiet and oppressive . Everyone was holding their breath . Other than the sound of the CFO speaking, there was no other sound in the room .
Suddenly, a phone vibrated .
The screen on Lu Beichuan’s phone lit up . The caller was Ye Zhen .
The CFO stopped talking, and everyone looked at Lu Beichuan .
Lu Beichuan briefly considered before answering the call .
“Zhouzhou said mama! Listen!” Ye Zhen’s delighted voice came from the phone . Her voice was especially clear in the totally silent conference room .
Everyone’s expression stiffened . Soon after, they looked away and lowered their heads .
Lu Beichuan expressionlessly stood up . He swept his gaze over everyone . “Ten minute break . ”
After saying that, he strode out of the conference room . The remaining people took a long exhale in relief .
Outside the conference room, Lu Beichuan’s expression softened as he held the phone to his ear . The corners of his lips were curved up as he listened to Ye Zhen chattering .
“Zhouzhou, say mama for dad to hear!”
He had no problem saying it earlier, but now that Ye Zhen brought the phone in front of him, he wouldn’t say a word .
“He was saying it earlier…” Ye Zhen mumbled, looking thwarted .
“Mama…”
The gloom on Ye Zhen’s face immediately scattered like clouds moving aside to show the sun . She said with delight, “Did you hear that?!”
“I heard . ” There was a warm and pampering smile on Lu Beichuan’s face . “I heard Zhouzhou say mama . Congratulations . ”
